But this may be changing as climate, increased urban development, and the spread of invasive species lead to more frequent wildfires. As a result, humans may need to step in more often to help landscapes recover after a fire. At the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, we’re working to better understand exactly where, how, and when to intervene in post-fire landscapes to make the greatest impact. /talk/2022-sbbg-sym/ Mon, 14 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /talk/2022-sbbg-sym/ /photo/sbi2022/ Mon, 28 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0000 /photo/sbi2022/ Santa Barbara Island In 2022, I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to help the National Park Service (NPS) with their annual vegetation monitoring on Santa Barbara Island. This island is the smallest of the channel islands, and lacking the cute island foxes known from the other NPS islands – but it’s still a real treat to get to visit it. To get there, we took a helicopter. This was the first time I’d ever taken a helicopter, and for a short while, I was pretty sure I had made a career mistake and should have been a pilot instead… but then I realized there are no plants in helicopters. /talk/2021-calipc/ Thu, 28 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /talk/2021-calipc/ /talk/2021-scmnh/ Thu, 09 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /talk/2021-scmnh/ /talk/2021-trainingvid/ Thu, 09 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /talk/2021-trainingvid/ /photo/colorado2021/ Wed, 28 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /photo/colorado2021/ In summer 2021’s brief lull in the COVID-19 pandemic, I went on a vacation to Colorado. I saw many cool insects, plants, and rocks - the landscape out there is lovely. These are some highlights from that trip. Denver As a plant nerd, I have to recommend the Denver Botanic Garden. It’s a gorgeous botanic garden with many charming sub-sections. And where there are well-loved and blooming flowers, you’ll also find insects! /photo/matilija2020/ Tue, 01 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /photo/matilija2020/ The Matilija Wilderness As a part of my survey work in the Thomas Fire Scar for the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, I visited the Matilija Wilderness in 2020 and 2021. It’s one of 10 wilderness areas in the Los Padres, and home to some gorgeous streams, cool plant communities, and peaceful backcountry camps. The Landscape The Matilija Wilderness is home to some of the headwater forks of Matilija Creek, a persistent stream that runs through the rugged landscape – making it a great place to backpack or visit waterfalls. /blog/social/ Thu, 28 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/social/ There are five places where you can choose to show social icons. Here is the tl;dr: site header (set in config.toml), site footer (set in config.toml), homepage (set in content/_index.md), about page in the sidebar (set in content/about/sidebar/index.md), and contact page (set in content/form/contact.md). Read on to learn how to set up your social icons, and how to show/hide them. Configure social Wherever you end up wanting to show your social icons, you’ll need to start by setting up the links in your site config. /blog/color-themes/ Wed, 27 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/color-themes/ You can totally customize your site’s theme colors within minutes of creating a new site. Read on to find out how, and decide which of the three options meets your needs. Use a color theme Hugo Apéro includes 8 built-in color themes that work “out of the box.” This means you can use a color theme to quickly customize the look of your site without needing to write any CSS. You can select the color theme in your config. /blog/fonts/ Wed, 27 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/fonts/ As with color themes, you can completely customize your site’s fonts within minutes of creating a new site. How you do it depends on how much control and customization you need. Embedded fonts Hugo Apéro includes 6 embedded fonts that work “out of the box.” We selected 3 serif and 3 sans-serif options that we thought looked good with this theme, in our humble opinions. All embedded fonts include real italics so you may emphasize to your heart’s content ❤️! /blog/evergreen/ Wed, 20 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/evergreen/ Rendering mathematical equations Examples from the mathjax demo. But they work with katex as well. Rmarkdown In .Rmarkdown documents, you can use either $a \ne 0$ to get inline math: \(a \ne 0\). There is no conflict with using dollar symbols regularly, because knitr automatically escapes freestanding dollar symbols. And you can use $x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.$$ to get a math paragraph: $$x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}. /blog/seedling/ Sat, 02 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/seedling/ Courtesy of panelset.js by Garrick Aden-Buie, from his xaringanExtra package: https://pkg.garrickadenbuie.com/xaringanExtra/#/panelset For example, this panelset: Hello! 👋 hello Goodbye 💨 goodbye Was created by combining this theme’s panelset and panel shortcodes: {{< panelset class="greetings" >}} {{< panel name="Hello! :wave:" >}} hello {{< /panel >}} {{< panel name="Goodbye :dash:" >}} goodbye {{< /panel >}} {{< /panelset >}} You could also revert to HTML as well.

Whereas applied nucleation shows promise as a forest restoration strategy, this approach has received little study in grassland restoration, where the spread of planted vegetation nuclei may be impeded by aggressive non-native species. We compared the establishment and cover of restored native grass, forb, and rush species for 7 years in applied nucleation and full planting treatments in a former agricultural site dominated by non-natives along the central California coast. /project/reintroductions/ Sun, 01 Nov 2020 00:00:00 +0000 /project/reintroductions/ Abstract Reintroduction is an increasingly common practice to conserve and recover threatened and endangered plant species, so understanding how practitioners view their work and identifying persistent resource mismatches are key to the long-term viability of these listed species. We interviewed practitioners involved in reintroduction projects for 14 species in the state of California to understand (1) how they defined recovery; (2) their assessment of the likelihood of recovery; (3) what advice they would share with other practitioners to improve reintroduction efforts; and (4) what resources could make future projects more successful. /blog/css-grid-scaffold/ Tue, 02 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/css-grid-scaffold/ “Grid is the very first CSS module created specifically to solve the layout problems we’ve all been hacking our way around for as long as we’ve been making websites.” — Chris House, A Complete Guide to CSS Grid Layout 1 Overview Since I began building websites in Y2K, I’ve lost count how many times the phrase “…there’s got to be a better way to do this” has passed my lips. /blog/built-in-contact-form/ Mon, 01 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/built-in-contact-form/ Formspree makes it easy to receive submissions from HTML forms on your static website. Functional Form This theme has a form-to-email feature built in, thanks to the simple Formspree integration. All you need to activate the form is a valid recipient email address saved in the front matter of the form (/content/forms/contact.md). Of course, the example shown below (your@email.here) must not be used. Please use your actual email address. /contact/ Mon, 25 Feb 2019 13:38:41 -0600 /contact/ ** Contact page don’t contain a body, just the front matter above. See form.html in the layouts folder. Formspree requires a (free) account and new form to be set up. The link is made on the final published url in the field: Restrict to Domain. It is possible to register up to 2 emails free and you can select which one you want the forms to go to within Formspree in the Settings tab. /elements/ Mon, 18 Feb 2019 12:27:33 -0600 /elements/ Font Sizes A A A A A A A A 6rem (96px) 5rem (80px) 3rem (48px) 2.25rem (36px) 1.5rem (24px) 1.25rem (20px) 1rem (16px) .875rem (14px) Type Samples Head­line Sub­head­line Level 1 Heading One page to rule them all...well, not really.

In diverse ecosystems, the selective use of certain guilds or species can come at the cost of species that are more challenging to incorporate,resulting in the overall homogenization of the ecosystem and a relative loss of biodiversity. We surveyed practitioners who restore California prairies to understand their use of native annual forbs, an important component of the biodiversity in this ecosystem. /talk/2017-norcalbot/ Tue, 10 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000 /talk/2017-norcalbot/ /project/foggy/ Wed, 01 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0000 /project/foggy/ Abstract Coastal fog affects many California plant species and can be critically important to species that experience periodic drought. Drought-deciduous species in particular rely on water availability to maintain their leaves during the summer. To determine fog water use in drought-deciduous plants, this study manipulated access to fog drip and measured the water relations of the common shrub, Artemisia californica, near Santa Barbara, CA. Fog water availability increased plant water content but had no effect on pre-dawn xylem pressure potential. /contributors/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 /contributors/ Thank you to all the folks who have contributed both technical and creative skills to this project: Desirée De Leon 🦒 (designed 5 of the custom color themes, made illustrations for the workshop, and provided general aesthetic feedback along the way) Garrick Aden-Buie 🧙‍♀️ (debugged headroom.js and lent his panelset.js code to the theme) Allison Horst 🐕 (awesome illustrations of campfires, seedlings, and evergreens, as well as my R Markdown hedgehog mascot 🦔) /license/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 /license/ My blog posts are released under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
